• Dry style
• Baked shortcrust pastry
• Ripe pear
• Warm spice

A pale gold colour in the glass with aromas of warm baked shortcrust pastry and ripe golden pear. Textural and full bodied with rich flavours of golden pear crumble and warm spice, this wine has a lingering off-dry silky finish. Drinking well now, this wine will increase in complexity over at least the next three years.

The fruit for this Mystery wine was sourced from a selection of vineyards in Marlborough and harvested at optimum flavour ripeness. The free-run juice was drained from the press and cold settled before a cool fermentation in stainless steel to retain the varietal aromas. A small portion was fermented in old oak and underwent malolactic fermentation in order to add complexity and texture. The parcels of wine were selected by the winemakers and blended then stabilised and carefully prepared for bottling.

Food Pairing: An ideal match with fresh fragrant Asian cuisine and also well matched with pork dishes.
